Famous? who is Seb Coe?

Now Lord Coe and an ex-Olympic athlete. As Sebastian Coe he won 4 Olympic medals, including two golds for the 1500 metres in successive Olympic games in the 1980s. He was elected an MP and was later created a life peer as Baron Coe.

And currently of interest here as the subject of last week's WDYTYA.
